Please do not post your edit requests on my user talk page. I would suggest that you start smaller and instead of one massive edit request that you make one small edit request to change one thing, then if that is accepted make another request, and so on. The main problem seems to be that the sources do not say what you claim that they say and that you seem more interested in telling the world about Mr. Khan than making sure your edits are accurate. 331dot (talk) 14:42, 11 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I think the main issue involves the references used to promote the claim that Mr. Khan was part of the Pakistani Air Force. The claims made about his participation in sqaush arent really the issue here, because no one is disputing the clear impact that Mr. Khan had on the sport (although a few of the sports claims being asked to be placed in the article are copied and pasted from a few of those sources, the claims generally state items that are already listed in the article. Another issue is that claims are made as to how many matches in total two opponents made, something like 293, which I am unsure how to go about verifying). In any event, the COI editor first highlighted the claims regarding the air force, so let's go over those first here (shown below). Spintendo  20:11, 11 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if anyone has anything they'd like to add to this discussion, but I'll leave the template open to see if other editors would like to add feedback. One question I have is how to go about verifying the claim of 293 matches Khan had with his opponents. Any input on what sources to use would be appreciated, I know it's difficult with all the posts which were left here on the talk page, but if there is some material here which can be used, I think we should try. Thanks! Spintendo  20:11, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
